Ugly Integer Conversions

The constructs enabled via -fugly-logint are:

The above constructs are disabled by default because use of them tends to lead to non-portable code. Even existing Fortran code that uses that often turns out to be non-portable, if not outright buggy.

Some of this is due to differences among implementations as far as how .TRUE. and .FALSE. are encoded as INTEGER values--Fortran code that assumes a particular coding is likely to use one of the above constructs, and is also likely to not work correctly on implementations using different encodings.
